Yellow sticky traps are a non toxic way to control and
monitor aphids, cucumber beetles, fruit flies, fungus gnats, leafhoppers,
froghoppers, moths, whiteflies, flea beetles, leaf miners etc. An integral
part of any integrated pest management program they can be used in
greenhouses, homes, orchards, flower and vegetable gardens, anywhere
insects are a problem. The glue does not dry out and the traps will last
until the surface area is completely covered with insects, even through
rain.
Our traps have a grid pattern on them to help you count
and precisely determine population levels.
For many insects like fungus gnats the traps are also
very effective when laid horizontally across the rim of a pot or strung
horizontally in the garden. The bugs are more attracted to landing on the
flat surface! You can cut them into smaller pieces as needed.
They store indefinitely until you need them.
The total surface area of each individual trap is 56
square inches.
Non poisonous and weatherproof.
Cut to whatever size you like for your needs.
Monitoring methods: Yellow sticky cards and
potato pieces placed on potting media are good methods for monitoring
adult and larval populations, respectively. For Fungus Gnats Sticky Traps
are most effective when place horizontally on the potting media surface,
although vertically positioned cards hung over the crop canopy are also
effective and trap more of other types of insect pests as well. In
greenhouses cards placed under the benches, close to intake vents, near
doorways and outside the greenhouse can provide additional information to
detect breeding areas. Continuous monitoring (weekly) can provide the
following information: 1) first detection of low populations; 2)
population density increases or decreases over time; 3) the level and
length of suppression resulting from the implementation of suppression
tactics.
